Very ripe and raisiny, with a tannic, peppery, earthy, leathery streak running through the core of racy Zinfandel flavors. Best from 2000 through 2004. (1588 cases produced)

Wine Spectator Rating 90, Reviewed 11/30/99
Here's an outstanding California Zinfandel that's also reasonable in terms of price and availability. It's dark, ripe, rich and complex, with concentrated cherry, plum, blackberry, cedar and spice and a long, rich aftertaste. Drink now through 2006. (10000 cases produced)

Ripe and generous, this effusive wine has appealing if somewhat Port-like plum, blackberry and spice flavors that linger nicely on the round finish.Drink now through 2003. (3500 cases produced)
